■
To ensure the best cooking performance when cooking under pressure,
always use at least 1
1
/2 cups of water or liquid in your recipes to
enable enough steam to be created to produce pressure.
■ Frozen foods can be cooked in a pressure cooker. Add appoximately
10 minutes to every inch of thickness.
■
When using the pressure settings, the timer should not begin counting
down until there is enough pressure.
■
When cooking under pressure, if you are unsure of the cooking time, it
is better to under cook and use the quick release method and check for
doneness. If not done, continue cooking under pressure.
■
Never fill the Pressure Cooker more than half full with food or
2
/3 full
with liquid. The pressure cooker must have enough liquid to steam or
the food will not cook properly.
■
If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your
appliance may not operate. The pressure cooker should be operated
on a separate electrical circuit.
■
Tougher, less expensive cuts of meat are better suited for the pressure
cooker because cooking under pressure breaks the fibers down for
tender results.
■
Fresh fruit should be cooked on low pressure.
■ Add a tablespoon of oil to the water to reduce the amount of foaming
that beans produce.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using this electrical appliance, safety precautions must always be
observed, including the following:
A Pressure Cooker is very safe when used properly.
■ READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
■
Close adult supervision must be provided when this appliance is used by
or near children. Keep pressure cooker out of the reach of children.
■
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
■
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
■
The pressure cooker has a polarized AC (Alternating Current) plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way, as a safety feature. Reverse the plug if the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet. Contact a qualified electrician if it still does not fit. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature.
■
Short power cord should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becom-
ing entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer extension cord
is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
■
Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not
working as it should, has been dropped or damaged, left outdoors or
dropped into water, do not use it and return it to the manufacturer for
proper service, repair, or replacement.
■
Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
■
Do not place near hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
■ Always use in a well ventilated area.
■
For indoor use only.
■
The pressure cooker is for household use only. The pressure cooker
should not be used for other than the intended use.
■
Do not cover the appliance or have it near flammable material
including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like when in operation.
■
Do not cover the pressure valves with anything. An explosion may occur.
■
Do not use without the removable cooking pot in place. This will reduce
the risk of electrical shock.
■
Do not fill the pressure cooker more than
1
/2 full with food or
2
/3 full

the unit over
1
/2 full.
■
When cooking food under pressure, at least 1
1
/2 cup (12 oz.) of liquid
must be used.
■
Foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other
cereals, split peas, noodles and pasta, or rhubarb should not be cooked
under pressure in the pressure cooker. These foods tend to foam, froth
and sputter, and may block the floating valve.
■
The exterior and the lid becomes hot during use. Do not touch hot
surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
■ WARNING:
Keep hands and face away from pressure regulator knob
when releasing pressure.
■ While the unit is in operation, never remove the lid.
■
Do not pick up regulator knob when inner tank full of steam pressure.
■
To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in removable container.
■
After cooking, use extreme caution when removing the lid. Serious burns
can result from steam inside the unit.
■ CAUTION:
When removing the lid, there could be a suction created
between the inner pot and lid.
■
Extreme caution should be used when moving any appliance
containing hot food or liquid.
■
Do not attempt to dislodge food when the appliance is plugged in.
■ CAUTION:
Perishable foods such as meat and poultry products, fish,
cheese and dairy products cannot be left at room temperature for
more than 2 hours. (No longer than 1 hour when the room
temperature is above 90°F). When cooking these foods, do not set
the delay time function for more than 1-2 hours.
■ DANGER:
Never deep fry or pressure fry in the pressure cooker. It is
dangerous and may cause a fire and serious damage.
■
Using attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may
cause hazards.
■
Make sure appliance is off before unplugging from wall outlet.
■
Always unplug before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking
off parts.
■
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse plug, cord or
housing in water or any other liquid.
